lyrics

BRING MY CHILDREN HOME

They say that there’s a god in heaven
But answered prayers they don’t come cheap
It’s now a quarter past eleven
She wonders if they’re fast asleep

The beds are made just like she told them they should be
But this tiny room’s now just a hole
This house is nothing but decaying wood
But at least it used to have a soul

Bring my Children Home (3X)

They’re lighting candles in merdeka square
They’re talking bout her in the news
Her lawyers tell her there are people who care
But she wonders sometimes what’s the use

Imporatnt men are on the TV screen
They’re saying that the deal is done
They say that this is how it’s always been
They tell her that her race is run

Bring My Children Home (3X)

The least that you can do lord is just tell they’re allright
And let me hear their voices
To get me though the night

They say that there’s a god in heaven
But answered prayers they don’t come cheap
It’s forty minutes past eleven
She has to go there’re roads to sweep

And as she cleans the mess we’ve left behind
There’s only one thing in her tired mind

Bring My Children Home (4X)
